How do all get staffed most of the time? Do you get pull from previous colleagues, actively reach out/network or do you wait PD to assign you something? New to the firm and figuring out the game.

To survive at McK, never wait for anyone for anything - take charge and ownership, be it staffing, networking, study execution, etc. That being said, it’s almost imperative that you kill your first study because that partner, ED, EM, etc will be the only ones who can vouch for you going into finding a 2nd study. Rinse and repeat and you have a network of supporters, but you have to do the legwork yourself

Just left, but you really need to depend on people (friends at your level, EMs/APs that you've worked with, and most importantly sponsors at P/SP level). PD and random slack channel postings can be helpful, but never rely on them

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.
